-Xeno- Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I was hoping some one could help me ID this plant. I've narrowed down possible candidates to petiolaris, dilatato-petiolaris and fulva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I was going to say, D. lanata, but wait for the real experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Spence Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Has this one just made its way down from the Darwin area? The location may help with identification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiel Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I think it could be D. petiolaris, it doesn't look like D. fulva to me. All my D. petiolaris plants have pink flower though. Maybe it's a (natural) hybrid? Anyway, when it makes some new leaves it should be easier to recognize the species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Xeno- Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Yes this is from Darwin, i must have forgot to put that in the first post Jimscott, D. lanata is a possibility actually, I didn't consider it before. Emiel, I really hope it isn't a natural hybrid, it would be near impossible to accurately ID. Edited June 14, 2011 by -Xeno- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiri Vanek Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi, it's hard to say, the plant doesn't look well. Based on pictures I would exclude D. dilatato-petiolaris. Can be D. petiolaris but...the hairy centre looks like typically D. fulva. On the other hand - the shape and length of leaves point more to D. petiolaris.....for me it seems like it can be a hybrid.

jimscott Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 This is my recently acquired D. lanata, which obviously needs more light: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Xeno- Posted June 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Jiri, the plants I recieved were dormant/going dormant, but this one was still growing when I recieved it, with any luck it will keep growing without going dormant and I can get some better pictures. Jimscott, very nice looking plant, thanks for posting the picture. However the petioles look to hairy and the leaf shape is wrong, so lanata is out.
